Gerald Newmark, Ph.D., author of “How to Raise Emotionally Healthy Children<\/em>,” is on a crusade to make Salinas, California an “emotional-health-friendly city,” according to an article published today in the Salinas Californian.<\/p>\n

In an interview on October 21, Newmark summed up his mission: “I want to raise public consciousness to the fact that one of the most critical problems we have is neglect of emotional health<\/em> in our communities and our homes. This book provides practical tools to enable adults to interact with children in emotionally healthy ways.”<\/p>\n

Newmark’s book, first published in 2000 and now in its second edition, offers 150 pages of practical, common-sense advice based on the premise that every child – and every adult – has five critical emotional needs: to feel respected, important, accepted, included and secure<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0book is being used by the Mission Park school, Salinas Union High School District, Spreckels Union School District, Monterey County Health Department Behavioral Health Division, Natividad Medical Center Perinatal Services, Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System, Oasis Charter School and Salinas Adult School.<\/p>\n

What’s more, Maya Cinemas in Oldtown Salinas is showing 30-second promotions for the emotional-health-friendly project.<\/p>\n
